We're also getting things rolling on Raspberry Pi-based GPIO programming, so let's kick things off with the world's simplest project: turning on and off an LED.

Amidst some great comments from our viewers, Robbie and Sasha warn of a very real threat to your data: fake SD cards being sold on sites like Amazon and Ebay. Sometimes when something appears too good to be true, it's just not worth the risk.

Nobody does network asset monitoring as well as Nagios, and NEMS Linux brings a fully-configured Nagios server to your Raspberry Pi. Robbie and Bekah check out the latest release of the Nagios Enterprise Monitoring Server for Raspberry Pi 3.

STEM education is getting exciting as more and more products come out that really make learning fun! OhBot is one such device: it provides kids of all ages a robot and the tools they need to program it to interact. Let's look at the basics of how it works and perform a few simple tasks as we learn to code through OhBot.

XENTAVO founder and CEO and all-round cryptofinance expert Robert Koenig joins the Cat5 team to explain (in terms we understand) what the blockchain is, how cryptocurrency generates money, and what the financial future holds.

On this jam-packed episode, we compare the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ to the original Pi 3 and even the Pi 2. Then, we'll look at a cordless digital microscope that zooms up to 600x and lets you record 1080p video.

This week we tackle a plethora of topics: from the #DeleteFacebook movement and what you should know about what Facebook knows about you, to unboxing a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and thinking on World Backup Day.

Having built a RetroPie gaming system on Episode 442, it's time to expand its storage adding 128 GB more space for your retro gaming ROMs! Rather than simply replacing the existing storage, we'll instead add additional storage and make the two cards work together.

In what we can only describe as "the worst episode ever," Robbie proves he's human and experiences the same technical problems as everyone else. We'd planned to show you how to expand a RetroPie, but instead waited and waited and fought against a SD card that turned out to be a bad card! Still, we had some good troubleshooting, so if you can see past the technical problems, great! If not, tune in again next time when we retry the same feature... with a Kingston SD card.

We continue setting up our Pi web server with PHP and a strong Linux firewall (CSF/LFD). We also get things going on deploying MariaDB, but haven't quite got there yet. On GIMP Tips, we look at creating gradients and how to make the edges super-smooth.

To prepare for some of the exciting upcoming builds we have planned, we need to learn to solder. This week we look at the most basic project: replacing a plug on a pair of headphones. On GIMP Tips, we learn to use the Levels Tool to fix over/underexposed images.
